US financial aid to Israel faces growing uncertainty following the midterm election results. According to reports by the Jerusalem Post and The Media Line, political figures are warning that such aid is no longer politically sustainable. Gordon, a former Biden administration official, estimated that none of the candidates in the upcoming Democratic primaries will support the continuation of financial assistance to Israel.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump's move to terminate the aid agreement in 2028 has drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers, who described the decision as imprudent. Further details regarding the implications of these developments have not yet been released.
